Winmau Team 360 are pleased to announce the signing of 16-year-old Welsh international Fabian Tapner. The youngster has impressed on the JDC Tour this year, reaching the Final of Advanced Tour Event 8 and finishing 12th on the Order of Merit.

Fabian beat Belgian international Rune van Damme in the Quarter Finals, before including an 82.64 average in beating another Team 360 player in Evan Willoughby 5-1 in the Semi Finals.

Tapner started playing darts during the first lockdown back in 2020, before going onto the Junior Development Tour, with Team 360 looking forward to helping Fabian develop further in his darting career.

The youngster reached the WDF Welsh Open Boys Final at the start of May, falling short against UK Open qualifier Thomas Banks at Pontins Prestatyn. Tapner also included a 90+ 3 dart average back during his time playing county darts, beating Devon Youth whilst playing for Glamorgan.

Fabian said on his new contract with Team 360: “I feel hugely honoured to join the best team in the World in Team 360 and can’t wait for what the future holds together. I know most of the players in the team and they have given me a huge warm welcome. I want to thank Steve for his help and hopefully this is the start for me and what my darts career holds.”

Winmau Team 360 chairman Steve Brown also spoke on the new deal saying: “We are happy to see Fabian join Winmau Team 360. We have seen through the year his fantastic ability with runs to 2 Finals in the WDF and the JDC. I look forward to seeing him develop further as part of Winmau Team 360”.

Tapner will return to JDC action later this year with the European Darts Open taking place on the 29th to the 30th of July in Ireland.
